OIL-BURNER.

To all whom "it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jol-1N R. PRING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shawnee, State of Oklahoma, have invented a certain new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the following is a specilication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to oil burners adapted to be used either in connection with heating or cooking stoves and designed to consume crude oil, obtaining an even and uniform heat and adapted to be positioned in a heating or cooking stove as wil readily appear.

A further object of the invention is to 4 provide a series of covered and uncovered air lues which will confine the heat within certain limits and promote combustion of the oil as it is fed to the burner.

A .further object of the invention is to provide in connection with the burner a novel form of generator and distributer whereby the oil as it is fed to the burner is thoroughly distributed or spread out in shallow concentric channels whereby it is readily converted into a gaseous vapor preparatory to its ignition. By means of the construction hereinafter described, the soot, carbonand other refuse matter is consumed and the amount of oil required is proportionately economized.

Vith the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear l'las the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement herein fully `described, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings :-Figure 1 is a plan view ofa crude voil burner embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View of the same. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section taken at right angles to Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a similar section taken through a modified form of burner involving, however, the same principles. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the bottom or pan section of the burner member shown Specification of Letters Patent.

whol-e within the pan and under the hood portion of the cover.

The pan or bottom member may be of any size in accordance with the useto which the burner is to be put and comprises a bottom the opposite ends of the burner terminate short of or below the cover 2 so as to leave lateral ports 7 by which the-air is admitted into the hollow body of the burner.

Centrally the bottom or pan member is provided with an upstanding generator support 8 having a socket 9 to receive a stud or pintle 10 on the lower side of the disk shaped generator 11. rlhis generator has a stepped upper surface being provided with a series of concentric oil COntainingchannels 12, the bottoms of which incline toward the center of the generator so that as the oil overflows the outer edges of the steps, it runs in a thin film to the next outer step and when the generator is in a highly heated condition, the oil is thus spread out and ed at a suitable elevation in the tire box of t-he heating or cooking stove by means of supporting legs or lianges 13.

The top or cover section 2 is supportedV upon the flange 4 and is also provided on its under side with depending flanges 14 which are spaced at a suit-able distance inside of the inner walls 6 of the flues 5 to form baffles which direct the current of air downward toward and against the bottom of the pan where it comes in contact with any oil on the bottom of the pan that has overflowed from the generator. The central portion of the cover is deflected upward to form an elevated deflector hood 15 which overlies the generator and is provided with a cent-ral oil feed aperture 16 directly above the generator 11 through which the oil may be fed to and dropped upon the center of the generator upon which it drops and is thereafter spread out by reason of a particular' configuration and shape of the generator. 17 represents lugs on the under side of the cover which serve to position the cover on the body of the heater, said lugs fitting between the outer and inner walls of the covered air flues and abutting against cross webs 1S extending between said inner and outer walls as indicated in Figs. l and 2. The cover section is preferably formed with laterally eX- tending flue cover lianges 19 `to project over and inclose the upper ends of .the side air lines 5 as shown in Figs. l and 3.

ln .addition to the covered air lues 5, uncovered air iues 2O are provided `at one side of the burner, .the burner being so placed in the heating sto-ve that the uncovered Aair iues will ibe arranged .at ,the front of the stove. These tlues 2O conduct the cold air in the front part oi the fire box orp the stove, said ,air coming in contact with the heat as it escapes from the burner through the fire ports 9.2. The hot air alwaysrushes to `take the place of the cold air .and by this process the hot air is retarded in tie `front part of the stove instead ot rushing .up Vand outward through the stove pipe. Furthermore, by this arrangement of passages or flues, the soot and carbon are consumed and less oil is required thus making the burner economical.

The burner above described is particularly j designed for use in cooking stoves. For use in heating stoves, the shape of the burner may be modified as illustrated in Figs. et, 5 and 6, the principles involved being exactly the same, the only difference residing in the particular shape of the burner and the arrangement of the covered and uncovered air flues. Under the arrangement shown in Figs. 4,' 5 and 6 and by special reference to Fig. 5, it will be observed that the air lues 5 and 20 are arranged in circular series while the cover 2 illustrated in Fig. 6 is provided with radial extensions 21 which cover the outer tlues 20 and cause the air to be diverted and deflected into the open center body of the burner as a whole so that it will act in the desired way on the Vaporizing oil on the generator 3 which is centrally positioned in the body of the burner.

What claim is l. An oil burner embodying a pan, air l'lues located adjacent to and within the flange of the pan, a combined hood and cover supported on the pan covering said lues and centrally offset upwardly forming a detlector hood, an oil-distributing generator arranged within the pan and under the hood, and battles interposed between said air tlues `and the generator.

2. An oil burner .embodying a pan, air fines located adjacent to and within the flange of the pan, a combined hood and cover supported 4on the pan covering said Hues and centrally offset upwardly forming a detlector hood, and an oil-distributing generator arranged within the pan and under the hood, the hood being' provided with an oil feed aperture located above the generator.

3. An oil burner embodying a pan, air tlues located adjacent to and within the flange of the pan, a combined hood and cover supported on the pan covering said :lines and centrally oiset upwardly forming a del'iector hood, an oil-distributing generator arranged within the pan and under the hood, and uncovered air dues located at one side of the burner body.

t. An oil burner embodying a pan, an' iiues located adjacent to and within the flange of the pan, a combined hood and cover supported on the pan covering said l'lues and centrally offset upwardly forming a delector hood, an oil-distributing generator arranged within the pan and under the hood, and battles interposed between said air tlues and the generator, the hood being provided with tire escape ports adjacent to the battles.

In testimony whereof I aliiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
